LOCATION!!! The introduction/history to the hotel that was on the TV as soon as we turned it on. Reservations were MOST ACCOMMODATING AND HELPFUL since our visit occurred right after the flood. Beauty of the lobby. Excellent food and service during breakfast....so sorry that we didn't do supper, too, since our experience at a place that we enjoyed in town was much less than usual

the staff was nice

The room I got was in an old part of the hotel and was not up to par, no hot water, they told me to run it a half hour, I did and it never got warmer. the room should not have been rented out. I called the front desk so much about the water at mid night they finally moved me . It wasn't a good deal

The room was nice, but you really go to a historic hotel like that more for the common areas. We enjoyed the sitting areas, the great views, the front porch, etc. We also had a good dinner at Cascades and a good breakfast at the Lodge.

The Ghost Tours at night are really interesting and cool - Mary is an especially good guide.

The history of the hotel is really interesting too. Take the tour on the History of the Hotel. Rooms are very nice. Food is great. Staff is really friendly. Booking on line was easy but when I tried to call I waited on hold for a really long time.

The atmosphere and the dining. Unfortuneately, that was the night the floods hit and we barely made it out of town the next day. My sympathies go out to the people of Estes Park.

Fabulous service, beautiful hotel in a beautiful setting.
Gorgeous porch for a morning cup of coffee.

Room was a little on the small side but didn't spend much time there.

The grounds and hotel lobby are beautiful, and the history is interesting and fun. We also had a very nice dinner at the hotel restaurant, with good service and food.

We were promised a room in the main (old) hotel when we reserved the room. When we got there, the hotel clerk informed us we would be in the condos in the back of the Stanley. When I protested, we were given a room in the "Lodge" next door. This would have been ok probably, except it was a very hot day and we were on the 3rd floor with no AC, and the room was absolutely sweltering. It did not cool off enough to sleep. My husband finally went down to the main desk at midnight and requested a move or some kind of help. At this point they did move us to a room in the old hotel (as originally promised). It was an improvement in terms of temperature, but not space. View was an asphalt roof. There were no coffee pots in the room, no ice bucket, no amenities as usually expected..not even a glass in the bathroom. So for being billed as a luxury hotel, we were quite disappointed.
Also, I am seeing we are not supposed to give our pin # when making the reservation which was requested.

The hotel was great, our room was really nice, and we enjoyed our meal at the restaurant.

The Night Ghost Tour could be a little less hoaky. We enjoyed walking around the grounds and hearing about the history, but weren't crazy about the time spent in the completely dark Concert Hall trying to "talk" to ghosts.

Our grandkids loved watching for ghosts.....lol. The staff was very helpful and friendly. The whole experience was very family friendly. The release of butterflies was extremely exciting for our grandchildren. Plus on the lower floor they have a viewing area with a bit of ecological information about why they release the butterflies. You can see the different stages of the butterflies life, so very interesting and educational for all. The food was wonderful as well as the service. All in all, we had a wonderful experience and highly recommend a stay at the Stanley.
